Black, White and Orange Damask

A four tier 40th Birthday cake for a girl whose favourite colour is orange. The roses are real and the numbers stuck in the top are sparklers. I had fun with the flavours in this cake – Mimosa and peach melba along them.

Thanks, Ann-Marie! The pleating is easier than it looks! I was given a totally free-reign on this cake – all I was told was that the Birthday girl’s favourite colour was orange. I just wish I’d been able to make real roses. I did try and was hopeless!
